mackerel_sky Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 I do that, just alternate areas I water. It would take me 24+ hours to water the entire yard at one time. So I'm stuck with doing 4 hours of watering every evening. Eventually I'm just going to say eff it and let everything die. At least the tomatoes are sweet and not watery like they were a couple years ago from all the rain. It would be nice to get an inch of rain so I wouldn't have to water for a week. I had a good laugh when I went out to weed some and even the weeds were wilting and dying. Should have planted cacti.Lol! I'm guilty of the light watering sometimes, I'll spray everything down in the morning and make it perk up a bit, thinking one of these storms will hit my back yard later!

Brick Tamland Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 It's better to water deeply and longer oncer or twice a week, that to water a little everyday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isopycnic Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 This is unheard of. Something has to be happening at the NC coast to cause this. If they could only issue a watch for this sort of thing then the attacks would stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 If they could only issue a watch for this sort of thing then the attacks would stop. Only if there were shark attacks in Wake Forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sharks are running amuck , because the coastguard hasn't issued a watch yet! I'm going to apply some insect killer to my bushes that are being attacked by bagworms, that'll guarantee rain, and wash it off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jshetley Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Yep. 1 went south and the other one fell apart. There's more out there, but all going south of here. Another busted day here and all over the NC part of the forecast area east of the mountains. They'll start missing Asheville soon enough though.

sparklecity Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 80% 2 times and hardly anything. 60% today and nothing. 60% tonight I'm sure will be nothing. Then 30-50% right on thru Tuesday will prob be nothing. This summer blows. Water bills are going to be outrageous trying to keep my plants and grass limping along.

I called it yesterday that Jonesville was a black hole so my forecast verifed for your area today. #shetleylogicYou guys need to move south if you want rain. It's not like downsloping is some new phenomenon. Most here understand that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know about the downsloping, but I keep seeing places less the 5 miles in all directions get good rain repeatedly while I get nothing. Downsloping does not explain that at all. We could not get rain early last month either when downsloping was no problem. It most certainly will take a hurricane for my area to get over .25 in any 24 hour period.
